Here the stories from those who started and built this club, the trials and successes, the good times and challenges, and how it was all worth it in the lifelong friendships that endured. They’re coming in from all over to share their story with us.
It’s the perfect night to meet fellow adventurers and swap stories before the weekend officially begins.
Saturday – Trails or Town?
Morning Trail Runs
All trails are first come, first serve, and open only to registered participants. Pick your adventure:
Prefer a slower pace? Explore Anza-Borrego, check out Borrego Springs’ giant metal sculptures, or stroll through Julian’s charming old town—apple pie is a must.
Evening Fun

- Be sure to visit our first-ever Vendor Village with club sponsor partners in booth sets up next to the Pavilion (‘Event HQ’)! Get event-only deals and see first releases. Meet the brands you want to do business with as you build or rebuilt your perfect rig.
- Don’t miss the trainers from the Land Rover Experience Driving Center in Carmel who will be in Vendor Village to answer all of your vehicle and driving questions! They’ll be on the Kayla’s Mine and Truckhaven 4x4 trail run too.

After a full day of adventure, enjoy the campfire camaraderie, laughter, and starlit desert skies.
